The fanlights of this room show a depiction of the myth of Phaethon, a well-known example of pride being punished. The son of Apollo, Phaethon was given permission by his father to ride his Sun Chariot, but he proved to weak to control the fiery horses pulling him, which in turn led to him riding so close to the Earth that he risked setting it on fire. In Metamorfosi, Ovid told of how Jupiter struck the youngster with a bolt of lightning, making him fall into the Eridanos, now known as the Po. He then turned Phaethon’s sister into a poplar tree, and her tears into amber. The imagery of Jupiter’s punishment of the proud Phaethon lends itself well to moral and political interpretations. Such interpretations, for example the fall of the giants, refer to Andrea Doria’s character who was a fair ruler and generous to his friends, but merciless with his enemies. The room is currently fitted as a bedroom in which the period-style bed stands out, influenced by seventeenth century columns, silk and the family’s nineteenth century coat of arms.
